We report the results of our investigations on high quality Single Crystal Chemical Vapour Deposition (SC-CVD) diamonds to be used as ionizing radiation detectors. The unique properties of diamond makes it one of the most promising wide band-gap materials not only in the already established field of high luminosity X-ray detection for medical applications but also in modern high energy physics. Recent progress in growth of synthetic diamonds of very high purity and high homogeneity has opened perspectives to a new type of UV photosensors in order to work with large volume two phase liquid-Ar and/or liquid-Xe detectors, nowadays under design for next generation dark matter search. SC-CVD diamonds supplied by Brevetti BIZZ firm of San Bonifacio (VR, Italy) were investigated and the results are presented and discussed.

Abstract
We report the results of our investigations on high quality Single Crystal Chemical Vapour Deposition (SC-CVD) diamonds to be used as ionizing radiation detectors. The unique properties of diamond makes it one of the most promising wide band-gap materials not only in the already established field of high luminosity X-ray detection for medical applications but also in modern high energy physics. Recent progress in growth of synthetic diamonds of very high purity and high homogeneity has opened perspectives to a new type of UV photosensors in order to work with large volume two phase liquid-Ar and/or liquid-Xe detectors, nowadays under design for next generation dark matter search. SC-CVD diamonds supplied by Brevetti BIZZ firm of San Bonifacio (VR, Italy) were investigated and the results are presented and discussed.
